In An article from early Jan :

Has any one heard anything on the availability of this??

    I for one would be interested in purchasing something like this say with 
the :c directory and such installed. Updating to new code may be awkward but
maybe it would be worth it for some startup-sequence virus protection. If one 
used EPROMS they could be recycled which would hold down the cost some.

    If any one has avaliability or price info for the US please e-mail.

THanks in advance.
